The electronic translation service on the Toronto District School Board website is hosted by Google Translate, a third party service. The TDSB does not guarantee or warrant the reliability, accuracy or completeness of any translated information.

The quality of the translation will vary in some of the languages offered by Google. Google Translate is a free service and currently offers translation in over 100 languages, but does not capture all languages or dialects.

The basic translation goal is to capture the general intention of the original English material. Before you act on translated information, we encourage you to confirm any facts that are important to you or may affect any decisions you make.

The Toronto District School Board is committed to equity and community engagement, and by providing this tool, we are making our information more accessible to families whose first language is not English.

School Visits

It is very important to me that I spend time in our schools — engaging our students, understanding what they are learning, and working with our educational leaders. As often as possible, I take the opportunity to go into classrooms and speak with students about their learning and how we can improve to serve them better. These school visits also help to drive the work we do as a team here at the Board. To help highlight these important connections, I have decided to make reflection videos about what I’ve learned during my time at our schools and how it relates to the Board’s broader direction in the service of our students.

To enable all students to reach high levels of achievement and well-being and to acquire the knowledge, skills and values they need to become responsible, contributing members of a democratic and sustainable society.
